Help
For the second day in a row, Windows Vista Restore has popped up on my system, along with a number of 'critical RAM error', 'critical hard disk drive error' and 'hard drive failure' messages. All my desktop, start-up and C:drive files appear to have disappeared.
Yesterday, I attempted to remove the malware that caused this to occur using MBAM. Thinking it to be removed, today I attempted to put my system back in order - re-installing programs and repairing start menu shortcuts, etc. Within the last half hour, the damn Windows Vista Restore and all other errors popped up again! Obviously I failed at my attempt to remove this beast the first time and now I desperately need some expert advice and assistance.
I can't seem to access any programs or files on my system. What do I do first???

As a follow up to my first post, I did attempt to follow the 'Remove Windows Recovery (Uninstall Guide)' (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/virus-removal/remove-windows-recovery) the first time I tried to remove the beast. I must have missed something though, because it's back again.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can certainly provide any additional information.
